Pond Bluff to St Stephens
After the American Revolution, General Marion’s militiamen re-built his home. Francis Marion, at age 53, married Mary Esther Videau, April 20, 1786. They lived at Pond Bluff, on the south edge of the Santee Swamp and raised pineland cattle. With Oscar, the Marions frequently traveled to former battle sites. They took day long Sunday trips to St Stephen’s Church. Feb. 27, 1795 Marion, age 62, died at his home which is now under Lake Marion, and is buried at his brother's Belle Isle.
